Aalborg Description
THE STORY
Aalborg Jubilæum Akvavit came on the market in 1946 as a festive mark of the 100th anniversary of the launch of Aalborg Taffel Akvavit. Hence the name.
EXPERIENCE
It is a golden luxury aquavit made on distillate of dill and coriander seeds and rounded with an extract of American white oak. Unlike most other akvavit, it is completely free of caraway seed. It gives it an elegant, balanced taste of dill and coriander as the supporting forces, but with good contributions from star anise, citrus and caramel in the slightly smaller roles.
FOOD PAIRING
Aalborg Jubilæum Akvavit is suitable for fish and pork and is well suited for dishes with curry and food from Asian cuisine.
Wine Enthusiast: 94 Points
This barrel-aged bottling tracks back to a 1946 launch, when it celebrated Aalborg’s 100-year jubilee, hence the name. The barrel time adds a bright gold hue and mild vanilla sweetness, but it’s still lively, with bracing mint and savory caraway layered on coriander and anise for a warming finish.
